~2nd Quarter Totals!~

Don't believe that I've ever mentioned before, but I only budget $250 for my groceries and toiletries per month. So, I am very proud of the $600.15 saved while spending less than $250 in June. I have loved stocking up and saving so much while spending so little. I feel so blessed to have these resources available to me. Yeah!

January 09 = $134.20
February 09 = $505.46
March 09= $418.04
1st Quarter total = $1,057.70

April 09 = $346.73
May 09 = 422.95
June 09 = 600.15!
2nd Quarter total = $1,369.83

*If you are in my area and would like for me to host a seminar, please email me at coachoshields@hotmail.com. It is $25 per person and will last 2-3 hours. Please email me for more information.

Officially at capacity!

Okay, I feel very exposed right now! Some of you have requested that I reveal my freezer situation...So, here they are! I did not organize or even clean it for the picture. I do have a system so that I can at least see what I have and try to keep it organized by item or meat product. It is amazing how much meat you can fit into a small space once you separate it!
Hubby and I were just talking about how we hope to not have to buy any meat product until late fall. How awesome is that?! I'll keep ya posted on that one. We currently have chicken (boneless skinless, bone w/ skin, whole, strips, nuggets, you name it!), roast, pork chops, 2 types hamburger meat & 3 types of steaks. Where is the grill? ha!

~Today's Deals~

As mentioned before, I don't normally go to this many places in one day or ever really. However,today was the execption. I could not pass up the meat deals at Albertson's & Tom Thumb. They are not in my city, but in a neighboring one and just across from each other. Since I had a very small list of select sale items, it was easy to run in and out pretty quickly. If you haven't gone already, Tom Thumb's 3 day sale ends today.

Coupons for most everything!

If you have attended a seminar, I mentioned that you should look for coupons for everything prior to shopping. Even things that you would not think have coupons, actually do! Example: We are flying out for a trip this week and we will be needing airport parking. I found a 20% off airport parking coupon to use!

Victoria's Secret 20% off-TODAY ONLY!

Tuesday is the last day to get 20% off a $50 order at Victoria's Secret.

June 3rd Seminar

My hubby took a quick pic before I left and then I took a pic when I arrived at Jamie's home. We got so wrapped up in the seminar that I lost track of time and forgot to get my camera out and photo everyone. Bummer! Thank you to Jamie, Jenny, Liz, Tina, Amy & Laura who came. I had fun teaching you all. I hope that your families will be as blessed as mine has been.

*Cute Jamie with some of my product example's on her kitchen island.
* We have a new Nikon camera and have been playing around with the settings. I'm not this color, but think it looks neat to lighten it up so much.
*This photo was brightened up a bit
*No editing...Regular color...a little dark

~Menu Planning~

Have you all been planning your menu? This is what our menu looks like this week. My hubby went through the pantry and decided upon this dinner menu.

Saturday: Grilled pork chops, baked potatoes, broccoli w/ rice
Sunday: Roast, carrots, potatoes, salad & crescent rolls
Monday: Hamburgers-grilled & baked fries
Tuesday: Enchiladas (chicken & beef) w/ rice & pinto beans
Wednesday: Grilled ham, turkey & cheese sandwiches w/ soup
Thursday: Spaghetti, veggies & rolls
Friday: Baked Chicken & Broccoli


*The great thing is that my hubby will eat the pork chops, roast & enchiladas as leftovers for 3 days worth of lunches. He likes having a variety and not eating sandwiches everyday. The other coaches usually want to help him eat his lunch ;)

This is not the most exciting menu, but it works for us this week.
